senior seminars
Final-year colloquia
Senior seminars are advanced courses typically taken in the final year of undergraduate study, designed to synthesize knowledge from a student's major field.
They usually involve intensive reading, discussion, and a substantial research project or thesis.
The format emphasizes student-led discussion over lecture: My senior seminar on Victorian literature meets once a week for three hours.
